Ogden guards rescue woman from gunman
Ogden police say the actions of two security guards at an Ogden club may have saved the life of a woman being held at gunpoint inside a locked car early Sunday morning.
Ogden police say the actions of two security guards at an Ogden club might have saved the life of a woman being held at gunpoint inside a locked car early Sunday morning.
Ogden Police Lt. Mike Ashment said officers responded to a call from the El Potrero Club at 3119 Wall Ave. around 2:15 a.m. Sunday reporting "a man with a gun trying to shoot a woman." Witness statements indicate a man inside a car near the club was holding a woman down with one hand, and pointing a gun at her head with the other.
Before police arrived, two club security guards approached the vehicle and ordered the man out of the car. When he ignored them, one guard tried to enter the vehicle and, finding it locked, smashed a window and the other guard disarmed the man. Ashment said investigators reported that the handgun was fully loaded.
The man, identified by police as 21-year-old David Alberto Solis, was being detained by club security when officers arrived. The woman escaped from the incident unharmed.
Ashment said Solis and the woman have children together, but the status of their relationship was unclear. Solis was arrested and booked into Weber County jail under investigation of aggravated kidnapping, violation of a protective order and unlawful possession of a firearm by a restricted person.
